The Flippane Noung N7sn.

One day an emissary o. the Salvation army
handed my friend card en- which were print
ed words to the effect that the wicked would
perish, and added to this statement were a few
words of admonition. This fiippant young
man hastily recalled the giver and said:
See here, you have delivered this to the
wrong address. Let me see your pack"
Then, taking heap of cards from the as
tonished emissary, he selected one which said
the good would be rewarded
This is the one that was meant for me, = be
said. THAT one about the wicked was meant
for my friend. You ought to be more care

HUMBUG IN WINES.
How Native Brands Are Made Foreign
in the Dealers Cellars.

| How Native Brands Are Made Foreign
in the Dealers Cellars.
| ave make from 10000, 900 to IS, 000, 900
CT gallons of American wine yearly, and we
| donot import over 100000. Those figures
tell whether the wine drunk by our people is
| foreign or Americana So spoke a New
| York wine dealer. @By far the larger part
| Of the American wine, however," he added,
+, @is not sold as American, but as foreign
| wines Only few days ago visited the
| cellar of one of the largest wine merchants in
the city 1t contained many thousands Of
| gallons of American wine, the casks being
marked st. Julien, Medoc,' etc, through
the list of prominent foreign brands. Hotel
men 60 there and order these wines bottled
and labeled as foreign wine, and saw in that
cellar many thousands of labels ready for use
in this way. These parties take good care not
to initiate trade mark, but they give the
wine the foreign name and sell it as foreign
to their guests 1t is strictly confidential
business as between the wine merchant and
the hotelkeeper. The American wine is
bottled right there in the cellar, marked with
the foreign label, and then sent to the hotel,
so that the hotel proprietor is not put in the
power of his steward or caterer by the latter
receives his wines. OF course this does not
apply to all hotels.
at is not difficult TO see the advantage OF
all this" went on the wine dealer. 1T en-
ables the hotel man to sell his wines at
profit of 100 to 200 per cent, and it enables
the American wine producer to dispose of his
product, that might otherwise be left on his
hands.
"But one of the most interesting decep-
tions," added the wine dealer, ais that perpe-
trated by some of the creme de la creme upon
their confding friends. Some rich individual
who has a coat of arms, and coats of arms
can always be got in London at the right
figure, will order a quantity of American
wine bottled, and have label with his coat
of arms stamped on tie bottle. Then ne
conides to his friends, as they loll over the
dinner table, that the wine was expressly i'm
ported for his private use. It's an innocent
sort of fraud, and the wine probably tastes
a good deal better for it,
"But selling American wines for foreign is
nothing to the trick of making spurious wine
out of cider or fruit acid with enough Ameri-
can wine for body. This is not only a de-
ception; it is morally, and ought TO be legally,
a crime. Yet many thousands of gallons of
such stuff are disposed OF yearly in New
York New York Sun.
